Cheers is a very funny TV comedy set in a bar in Boston. Most of the episodes
revolve around the thoughts and lives of the regulars.
The
bar is owned by Sam Malone who used to be a famous baseball player. He is assisted
behind the bar by 'Coach' who has gone a bit senile over the years but is a
much loved character. Sam has two main waitresses - 'Diane' who just can't help
interfering and having an opinion about EVERYTHING. Sams other waitress is 'Carla'
who only has to look at a gorgeous guy and then claims that she can feel kicking
in her stomach.
The
regulars at Cheers include 'Norm' who is a permanent fixture at one corner of
the bar, his alleged buddy is 'Cliff' who works for the postal service. Cliff
is usually FULL of useless and unimportant facts which he insists telling everybody
about.
Cheers was first broadcast back in 1982, I remember watching the programme when I was still quite young It was usually screened every Friday night at around 10.00pm on CH4. At that particular time I was too young to understand or appreciate just how well written the scripts were, but now I'm older I find it very entertaining and can't resist watching whenever I know it going to be shown.
